New York Senate

= Domestic terrorism =

Following the Monsey Hanukkah stabbing in December 2019 which came amid a state-wide and national increase in anti-Semitic crimes and incidents, Senator Carlucci collaborated with former Governor Andrew Cuomo to draft a bill to create a formal state statute against domestic terrorism. Together, they passed the "Josef Neumann Hate Crimes Domestic Terrorism Act of 2020" named after one of the victims of the stabbing. The bill was implemented into New York State law through the 2020 budget and exists as the first domestic terrorism law in the nation. The assailant of the 2022 Buffalo shooting, who shot and killed 10 Black people in a supermarket, was the first individual to be charged under the domestic terrorism statute.{{Cite web |last=Craig |first=Gary |title=New York domestic terrorism laws used for first time in Buffalo supermarket mass shooting |url=https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2022/06/02/ny-domestic-terrorism-laws-used-first-time-buffalo-murders/7483747001/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220616075211/https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2022/06/02/ny-domestic-terrorism-laws-used-first-time-buffalo-murders/7483747001/ |archive-date=June 16, 2022 |access-date=June 15, 2022 |website=Democrat and Chronicle |language=en-US}}

Carlucci sponsored several pieces of key legislation which requires an independent, comprehensive, forensic audit of the MTA. An audit would show how, and where, the MTA gets and spends its money, ensure that drivers facing cashless-tolling fines would not have their credit scores adversely affected by late payment of bills.

Controversies

In June 2017, several members of the IDC, including Carlucci, sent a pro-choice mailer to their constituents that, according to Planned Parenthood, {{qi|misleads constituents by implying electoral support from Planned Parenthood.}}{{Cite news |last=Niedzwiadek |first=Nick |date=June 29, 2017 |title=Planned Parenthood ups response to IDC mailers |url=https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2017/06/29/planned-parenthood-ups-response-to-idc-mailers-113141 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200216003759/https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2017/06/29/planned-parenthood-ups-response-to-idc-mailers-113141 |archive-date=February 16, 2020 |access-date=February 16, 2020 |work=Politico}} The mailer used the Planned Parenthood logo and read {{qi|Supported by Planned Parenthood}} on the front.{{Cite news |last=Diamond |first=Paul |last2=Alpert |first2=Ivanya |date=July 3, 2017 |title=Carlucci and IDC fake Planned Parenthood support, and being Democrats: View |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/contributors/2017/07/03/carlucci-idc-fake-planned-parenthood-support-being-democrats-view/447984001/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200216003758/https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/contributors/2017/07/03/carlucci-idc-fake-planned-parenthood-support-being-democrats-view/447984001/ |archive-date=February 16, 2020 |access-date=February 16, 2020 |work=USA Today}} In a letter to the IDC, Planned Parenthood stated that they had not made any endorsements and misuse of their logo {{qi|undermines confidence and integrity in this endorsement process.}} The mailer also touted Carlucci's support of two major pieces of pro-choice legislation, the Reproductive Health Act and the Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act, while referring to both bills by the wrong names. A spokesperson for the IDC said in a statement: {{qi|Constituents have a right to know where their senators stand on women's health issues and this is what the IDC communicated to voters. Every member of the IDC supports women's health rights and universally stand at the ready to pass these vital issues.}}

Post-senate

In 2021, Carlucci was recognized on The City & State New York Mental Health Power 50 list. {{qi|Serving in the state Senate between 2011 and 2020, David Carlucci focused on mental health care and substance abuse policy, including as chair of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Committee beginning in 2013 and as co-chair of a joint task force on opioid addiction and overdose prevention.
